Which Apple Watch Should You Buy? - ConsumerReports.org

Do you need cellular? All three models can be purchased with GPS alone. Adding cellular raises the sticker price by about $100, plus the roughly $10-per-month fee for the wireless plan.

I tend to think most people don’t need a watch with cellular. My sister, the same one considering a cellular watch for her husband, has a Series 3 with cellular. That's because she’s a runner who likes to leave her phone behind but wants to be reachable and to stream her favorite workout mix. And that makes sense.

As for me, I never seem to be out of Bluetooth range of my phone. If I really wanted to, I could take a call through my watch via that connection or the home and office WiFi systems I’m perpetually attached to.

And while my sister can conveniently use the wireless headphones she’s already wearing to take a call while on the run, most others would pause before speaking directly into their watch for long with everyone nearby within earshot.

Is bigger better? Regardless of which model you’re considering, most women will probably gravitate toward the smaller sizes. The bigger watches cost a little bit more, and while most men tend to buy the bigger size, I know at least one who thought a 40mm Series 4 was just right for him.

Fancy finishes. The starting prices listed in this article are for the basic aluminum finish. But you can go fancier. I’m partial to the gold stainless steel finish available for the Series 5 that starts at $700.

There’s also a white ceramic version with a leather band and a Hermes-designed option, both of which will cost you upward of $1,400.

Beyond the Apple Watch. Yes, Apple's smartwatches are great, but we recommend models made by companies like Fitbit and Samsung, too. As always, Consumer Reports members can consult our ratings for full test results on more than 30 options.

And if you're more into counting steps than reading email, making calls, or checking the latest sports scores, you might want to think about a fitness tracker. They have fewer features, but they’re often cheaper than smartwatches.
